I have to laugh as dummy me bought pocketless pita's so I made mine as a pizza style dish. The flavor was delicious and we will be making it again! Thanks for posting such a quick & easy meal. Made for Photo tag 2012.

Other than adding a little extra onions, and cutting down down on the green peppers, these were fantastic. Loved the quickness, and the flavors in this too. Making this again for the kids ..They loved these. Made for 1-2-3 hits.

An easy meal for a busy weeknight supper...I used a combo of red and green pepper and threw in a pinch of chilli flakes as it just seemed to be begging for it. I also ended up using taco shells as well as pitas Tasted great and worked really well with the taco shells too! Thanks Boomie!
